I abhor the use of AI in the one browser I use because I thought it was far safer than any other browser. I have switched to Firefox because I knew it hadn't tracked my data, nor did it shove useless and unwanted features onto me without the ability to tell it no. But apparently, that has changed.

The blatant disregard for any opinion other than the CEO's in terms of including the implementation of AI tells me that Mozilla has little care for what their users want. Many people are speaking out against AI, many people here on these forums especially, and I am adding my own voice to the choir.

If the use of AI features continue to be added, I will consider simply switching browsers to one where I can at the very least patch out the AI entirely. I will be taking me, and my funding, with me, and I will not be looking back. I would hope these rising voices will be heard, and taken into consideration, before Firefox all but goes up in blazes and never reignites again.

I use Firefox every day and have since the browser's very early days. I have a Firefox account, and am logged in when using it.

Typically, I have some pinned tabs (calendar, for instance) and also some tab groups (Container Tabs). There are usually a small number of open tabs. For example, this week, I have been googling spreadsheet formulas for a Google Sheet I am working on.

Occasionally, perhaps once every couple of months. when I open the browser, everything is gone. All the pinned tabs, tab groups, and the tabs I'd left open deliberately are not there. Just one tab (Google), is open.

I can re-open the container tabs and add them to the tab bar again, try and remember which tabs were pinned and redo those, but having to trawl through history to find the very detailed searches for spreadsheet formulas and work-rounds - is all very tedious and shouldn't be happening!

It has only been happening for at most a year, maybe seven or eight times in total, but those seven or eight times shouldn't happen.

I have searched for a way to restore it to how it was the last time I closed it, but cannot find any way to restore Firefox to how it had been.

I am using an a fairly new ASUS laptop (but it happened on my previous PC too), with Windows 11 installed and up-to-date. Firefox is always kept up-to-date too.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Please stop adding AI to your browser. It is making it slower and is a data privacy concern for me as well as many others. If you do not remove them I will be switching browsers. AI is not only bad for the environment, it does not even do the features you want it to do correctly. Please remove AI from firefox, i have been using this browser for years and would hate to leave because you refuse to remove AI features nobody asked for.

Hi. Not sure how to tag this. I've turned off as many ai features in Firefox as I am able. I'm practically begging for this company not to add more. It slows the browser, it wastes energy, and to be honest? I don't want summaries of things I'm looking up, I don't want to be recommended apps or features, or chat to a bot, or have my sentences finished for me/help with writing beyond spell check. Google had a decent spelling and grammar checker and then they added gen ai garbage and now it sucks! PLEASE stop adding ai features to Firefox. It makes browsing impossible.

If you choose to start blasting ai everywhere I will look to switch away as needed.

I use Firefox because it has been the only option where at the very least I can opt out of this ai slop bullshit. Because it is the only place not feeling my data through a dipshit filter right into Microsoft and Google's ad services.

Don't make me have to drop you.

I'm certain I'm not alone in this. I use Firefox because it offers greater privacy, security, and customizability, and because I seek to eliminate as many potential interaction points with AI as possible. I've been deeply annoyed by the features already introduced; furthering Firefox's descent into another AI-forward browser is the opposite of what I want in a using experience. When this happens, I will have to find a browser that better suits my needs.

Hello, I've recently had to send my mac for full refurb. They wiped everything and I had to reinstall all applications. But after I installed and singed in to my Firefox, I could not find my bookmarks. I have searched online and followed several steps but still can't find the bookmarks. Please, can you help me recover them?

I'm sick of having to turn off ai features in every freaking thing, if the product was any good you wouldn't have to push it so hard!

This is bad for my data security and privacy. Bad for the environment. Spreads falsehoods. And promotes plagiarism.

I'm already starting to look around for other browsers so I can switch over and delete this account if you don't stop this garbage.

I use Firefox and recommend it to others entirely because it's proven to be one of the browsers with the least privacy concerns and bloat. Mozilla's recent intention to make Firefox a "modern AI browser" and riddle it with unwanted software additions ruins everything users love about the browser. If this AI integration moves forward, I'll be switching from Firefox to another browser.

Differences in the display of Firefox and Chrome styles on the website https://aistudio.google.com. In the first photo, Chrome and the styles look as they should, but in the second photo, Firefox and the styles do not work. I understand that this is most likely the fault of Google, which has prioritized optimization for Chrome over full cross-browser compatibility, but are there any solutions to fix this?

I've used Firefox my entire life, and completely severed ties with Chrome and Opera as privacy concerns cropped up, and have always recommended Firefox to friends and colleagues. But with the new CEO instantly backtracking on privacy concerns by pretending AI is just a buzzword that makes stockholders happy, I will be telling everyone to switch to librewolf or waterfox or zen instead. AI is glorified spyware, literally causes cancer as it poisons the water used to cool the necessary systems, and can't even tell you how many months are in the year or how many of them include a 'Y', I don't want this forced into my life for any period.

Please remove and do not add any AI/ML features to Firefox, it's the only mainstream browser of this kind left, i was planning on buying some merch but I don't think this company deserves my money if it tries to make cash off me in an insidious way either way

I love firefox. I recommend it to everyone. Because it's the only browser that appeared to have my best interest at heart. I develop extensions firefox-first rather than chrome-first. I don't want generative AI getting anywhere near any of my things, and I'm sorry to say I've switched to Waterfox for now. Please backtrack on this, I just want to use the internet without AI plastered in my face :<

I know I am far from the first person to bring this up, but it is absolutely horrid how a browser that is supposed to be one of the better options for privacy is starting to integrate more and more unwanted AI "features". None of us want this, nobody asked for this. Generative AI (including LLMs like ChatGPT and its equivalents) is horrific to even try to get a correct answer out of. It's simply processing your input and guessing what you want to hear in its output. It doesn't give facts, it doesn't help the user experience, it just makes things worse.

Every single time a new AI...thing is added, I have to go find a way to turn it off. If this keeps going, I cannot see a future where Firefox is a viable option for secure browsing. If anything, it may actually become on-par with or, dare I say worse than Google Chrome.

Hi! I have seen that Mozilla will be moving forwards with integrating AI to Firefox. I am very uncomfortable with this, as AI poses a risk to the privacy and security that made me choose Firefox in the first place. If this is the case and AI is truly integrated (at least without an option to turn it off or opt-out completely) I will no longer use this browser and switch to something else. I enjoy Firefox so I am hoping that this will not be necessary....but we will see.

Use of AI in Firefox destroys incentive to use Firefox at all. Implementation of AI features represents an obvious misunderstanding of the browser's userbase. I will switch browsers.
